EUA launches questionnaire for European Platform of Universities engaged in Energy Research - Hoofdinhoud
Category: Eua News, Research News, Newsletter 20/2009
Last year, the EUA Council agreed to support the launch of the European Energy Research Alliance (EERA).
The Alliance aims to accelerate the development of new energy technologies in support of the Strategic Energy Technology (SET) plan by pooling and integrating research activities across Europe. EUA - which was invited to join EERA by the European Commission - is now building a ‘European Platform of Universities engaged in Energy Research’ as a mechanism to bring university-based research into EERA activities.
To develop this initiative, EUA has written to Rectors/Vice-Chancellors inviting them to respond to a questionnaire to gather information that will demonstrate the potential contribution of university-based research and training expertise in Europe’s universities in a field of stated high priority for future investment of European and national research funds.
This will give greater visibility to university activity in the field and will point towards the potential contribution both to EU R&D programmes and to joint research programmes between national and European funding agencies.
EUA hopes that member universities will join this European Platform and would appreciate greatly your institution’s participation in the questionnaire survey by the requested deadline of 16th December 2009.
To find out more details about the questionnaire and this initiative please read the recent letter sent out to EUA members.
